im sure everyone understands, not everyone knows the right thing to say or how to show thier feelings at the time... but they know everyone is feeling the same way... dont be sad you are a nice person and thats why you care...

sorry to hear your loss katey... :D i dont really know what to say... i can see you are very upset which most people would be...im sure hes resting now and hell always be with you...

i dont think i can help much but i just thought id tell you about a product my family used for our dog... his fur fell out and he rubbed his belly against the carpet always scratching we had him tested but there was nothing... they put it down to emotional stress??? because he was a abused pound puppy but that was many years before this happened.. it was when he was about 16 it all started... he looked so bad..they just couldnt work out what it is.. his bum looked like a baboon it went black and dry and hard... and everyone called him budda... he looked like a babboon his fur on his ass fell off and his belly and back and it was sooo terrible... he was always itchy... we tried sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many things and nothing worked and everyone who saw him thought he was one of those hairless dogs or something... but this one thing the vet mentioned to us worked .. not to a great extent because his hair never came back and his baboon ass stayed black and hairless lol... but im not sure exactly what its called... so im sorry if this is no help but maybe someone knows what im talking about... :D .. it was a cream like in a toothpaste bottle... it smelt horrible like smoked meat or charcoal and it looked liek it had charcoal in it too... it was some sort of coal tar cream... tar.. or coal or something like that and it smelt like something charcoaled or burnt...meaty smell..i think it was actually a human cream for badly damaged skin but the vet actually said it as a last resort because we just couldnt find anything to help him ... OH i just proded my mam in the tummy and she said something like PINETARSEL..(probly wrong spelling but thats how it sounds)... its browny grey... like carcoal...it smells funny... but you have to dialute it because you dont put it straight onto the skin with a big amount...im not sure how desperate you are... with sammy we were out of answers or ideas... i mean we tried EVERYTHING... and nothing worked and it just got worse... and his bum just looked and felt like hard carboard skin... like a burn patient.. and there was nothing we could do... so we tried it and it made him not itchy anymore and it didnt make the hair grow back but it prevented it getting any worse and gave him some relief... sorry if that doesnt help at all... also just to make it clear though... it didnt repair the way it looked.. he still looked utterly horrible... mams little budda baboon ass lol... but he felt happier and started frollicking like a puppy again and he was in alot less pain and didnt scratch his tummy and bum anymore if we put it on every night... and whenever needed...sorry again if ive been no help

oh what a beautifull boy... :D hugs for you christina
